Do You Mean
Navigating Love's Doubt: The Chainsmokers' 'Do You Mean' Message
Lyrics
Do you mean, do you mean what you say?
Asking if the person is sincere and truthful in their words
What you said, nah, you can't take away
Emphasizing that certain words spoken cannot be revoked or erased
You're my Gospel but I'm losing faith, losing faith
Expressing a loss of faith despite considering the person as a source of guidance
Do you mean, do you mean what you say?
Repeating the question about sincerity and truthfulness
Take a minute, do you need to stop and think?
Suggesting a pause for reflection and consideration
What we had now, we can throw away, throw away
Acknowledging the possibility of discarding the past relationship
Show me that you mean it (ayy)
Reiterating the need for genuine actions to prove sincerity
Show me that you mean it
-Do you really mean it?
-Everything happens for a reason
-Show me that you mean it (do you, do you?)
-Show me that you mean it (do you, do you?)
-I hope you mean what you say, girl
Expressing hope for honesty and transparency in the relationship, referencing past issues
I hope you ain't lying to my face, girl (lying to my face)
-You said you needed some space, girl
-I tried to stay out your way, girl
-You heard some stories 'bout my past, ayy
Addressing challenges in trust due to past experiences and questioning emotional recovery
Wish we could leave 'em in the past, ayy
-You said it's hard for you to trust, again
-I wonder if you're really over it
-Bounce back like a rebound, ooh, yeah
Using a metaphor to convey resilience and recovery after setbacks
Are you saying what you mean now? (skrrt)
Prompting confirmation of sincerity in current statements
Do you mean, do you mean what you say?
Repeating the theme of questioning sincerity and contemplating ending the relationship
What you said, nah, you can't take away
-You're my Gospel but I'm losing faith, losing faith
-Do you mean, do you mean what you say?
-Take a minute, do you need to stop and think?
-What we had now, we can throw away, throw away
-Show me that you mean it (ayy)
Continuing the plea for genuine actions to validate words
Show me that you mean it
-Do you really mean it?
-Everything happens for a reason
-Show me that you mean it (do you, do you?)
-Show me that you mean it (do you, do you?)
-Time's up, but you're gonna say, "Next"
Describing the end of the relationship, referencing past clichés and insincerity
Can't lie what you did to me, yeah
-Put you out like a cigarette
-Put me out of my misery, yeah
-It's not you, it's me
-Come on, seriously
-Heard that once or twice before
-You got that straight from a movie
-Bounce back like a rebound, ooh, yeah
Using another metaphor to express resilience and bouncing back from difficulties
Are you saying what you mean now?
-Do you mean, do you mean what you say?
Reiterating doubts about the sincerity of words and contemplating ending the relationship
What you said, nah, you can't take away
-You're my Gospel but I'm losing faith, losing faith
-Do you mean, do you mean what you say?
-Take a minute, do you need to stop and think?
-What we had now, we can throw away, throw away
-Show me that you mean it (ayy)
Repeating the plea for genuine actions and questioning the meaning behind words
Show me that you mean it
-Do you really mean it?
-Everything happens for a reason
-Show me that you mean it (do you, do you?)
-Show me that you mean it (do you, do you?)
